    So looking at a PCIe card to go along with my pieces salvaged from an older build. What do you recommend for 1080p streaming?

    I'm just going to straight assume a 4350 or a 4550 is more than enough? I'd prefer no stuttering so... :pac:

    or

    Or will it matter? I'm assuming the fact the 4350 is DDR2 might be a problem :D

    Do you do any file encoding? Because you will need a 46XX or 48XX series to use Accelerated Video Transcoding (AVT). The 4350 and 4550 have only UVD 1.0 (Unified Video Decoder) so there is no hardware acceleration for dual stream picture in picture (PiP) playback requirements of Blu-ray Disc.

    If you don't need UVD2.0 or the File encolding then for streaming the 4350/4550 should be more than good enough.
